Chapter 242: The Fateful Moment Between Prince Mi and Ying Que! Subversive

The King of Dali has withdrawn his troops!

The next day, the 200,000-man army went south without looking back and returned to the King's Capital Camp.

If Ning Daoyi really dropped the second dirty bomb into the Lishui Lake, would the consequences be serious?

It would be serious, but not as serious as imagined.

Because there is no uranium fission, the radiation damage is limited after all.

But... if the King of Dali still does not withdraw his troops.

Ying Que can only throw a truly destructive weapon.

The last time he went on an expedition to the Dongli Empire, he had thought about what to do if the explosion of the Tianzhao Volcano failed?

Biochemical... virus... attack? !

Use yourself as a carrier to let Marquis Mary infect you when he sucks blood, and then continue to spread among the Western Church expeditionary forces.

But in the end he gave up because the consequences were too terrible.

And this time, if the King of Dali still insists on not withdrawing his troops.

Then, Ying Que will choose Mengshi Island of the Kingdom of Dali as the target of attack.

The island is stationed with thousands of troops of the Kingdom of Dali, and a castle has been built, which is almost isolated from the world.

It is both a fortress and a supply point in the vast ocean.

It is also a transit point for illegal pirate trade.

Once biological weapons are thrown on this island, King Dali can see the extremely terrifying power and curb the spread.

But Ying Que does not want to use it unless it is absolutely necessary, and even deep in his heart, he does not want to use it at all.

Because this kind of thing is too terrifying.

After all, he did not get to that step, and his first step of strategic deterrence was successful.

At present, for the entire Eastern world, and even for the entire world, death crystals are mysterious and terrifying, and even more unknown, so the fear effect produced is also extraordinary.

King Dali did not want to test this consequence at all.

Because who can tell clearly, under the medical conditions of this world.

Perhaps Ying Que's large-scale dirty bomb attack on water sources will really cause an extinction attack effect.

At that time, King Dali can only choose to move the capital.

He can't afford this price at all, so he decisively admits his defeat.

So, King Mi's first plan, the north-south pincer attack, completely failed!

…………………………

The ninth day of the sixth lunar month!

A delegation from the Sky Book City landed in Zhenhai City.

"Yingque, do you want to become the world's public enemy? Do you want to be sanctioned by the Sky Book City?"

"Yingque, are you not dark enough? Are you not evil enough?"

"You dare to use the death crystal? Trying to launch a genocidal attack on the Kingdom of Dali? You have completely broken the bottom line of civilization."

"You have completely trampled on the bottom line of the Sky Book City and the bottom line of the entire Eastern civilization."

An elder of the Sky Book City severely reprimanded Yingque.

Ying Que said slowly: "I don't understand what you said?"

The elder of Sky Book City said: "A few days ago, you threw death crystal bombs at the army of Dali Kingdom. This is an absolutely forbidden weapon in Sky Book City, and it is the most evil symbol of the Western Church."

Ying Que said: "Who said that? Where do we have death crystal bombs? This is a rumor, this is the most shameful slander against us."

The elder of Sky Book City looked cold and said: "Who else would do this except you?"

Ying Que said: "Evidence, show the evidence."

The elder of Sky Book City said coldly: "Ying Que, it's useless to quibble with me. The so-called evidence is groundless. On behalf of Sky Book City, I officially tell you that we can't tolerate your evil behavior at all, and we will definitely impose sanctions and make you pay the price."

Then, the delegation of Sky Book City left angrily.

Immediately afterwards, Sky Book City announced that in order to prevent the war of Daxia Empire from sliding towards evil and to prevent any force from obtaining dark weapons related to the Western Church, from now on, the fleet of Sky Book City will cut off all trade routes between the Eastern World and the Western World.

The entire Eastern world will be completely embargoed on maritime weapons.

Then, the Sky Book City Fleet was dispatched.

It directly blocked the route between the Great Xia Empire and the Dongli Empire.

In this way, the maritime exchanges between Ying Que and the capital of the Dongli Kingdom were completely cut off.

…………………………………………

June 13!

The people of Zhenhai City lived as usual.

At this moment, a harsh sound suddenly sounded over the entire Zhenhai City.

Then, hundreds of cavalrymen galloped through the streets of the city, constantly shouting: "Enemy air raid, enemy air raid, everyone hide under the house, hide in the strongest place, don't move, don't move, wait until the alarm is lifted before resuming activities."

Sure enough!

More than a hundred black spots appeared in the sky from the north.

This is King Mi's flying cavalry in the air.

This is the first truly large-scale air raid.

"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh..."

Suddenly, the twenty flying cavalrymen on Ying Que's side immediately rushed into the sky.

Even Ning Daoyi personally drove the Dark Vulture and rushed into the sky to intercept.

A short moment later!

More than a hundred flying cavalrymen of the Mi family flew over the sky of Zhenhai City, and dropped bombs when they were still a few hundred meters away from the ground.

At the same time, the flying cavalrymen of both sides fought fiercely.

Blood splattered in the sky.

More than a hundred bombs fell from the sky, making a strange whistling sound.

"Boom boom boom boom..."

There were bursts of explosions inside and outside Zhenhai City.

The air raid is over!

More than 100 flying cavalrymen of the Mi family turned around, left Zhenhai City, and returned to the north.

………………………………………………

Soon after, Ying Que received a comprehensive report.

"This wave of air raids destroyed 320 houses, killed more than 700 people, and injured more than 2,000 people."

"We conducted air interception, killed six of the opponent's giant eagles, and lost two."

"Two of the bombs hit your majesty's palace, destroyed more than a dozen houses, and caused 16 casualties."

"Because of the altitude, their air raid hit rate is not high, and some bombs exploded in the open."

Ying Que received this report and was silent for a long time.

Prince Lian said: "On the surface, it is impossible for Prince Mi and Emperor Yongchang to have so many giant sculptures. So this should also be considered as part of the sanctions of Sky Book City. There is enough reason to support Emperor Yongchang's special army, including air cavalry."

Ying Que said: "First, the Mi family controls an astonishing number of air corps. Secondly, even if Sky Book City really supports, they will never admit it. They will never give up their lofty and transcendent status at this time."

For example, this wave of maritime embargo, Sky Book City said it very well, not against any party, but against the entire Daxia Empire and the entire Eastern world, the purpose is to maintain its own transcendence.

Prince Lian said: "What should we do if the other side launches air strikes again, or even regularly?"

Ying Que shook his head and said: "Air strikes are not his goal. The cost-effectiveness is too low. We have several enhanced giant eagles and one enhanced dark giant vulture, so every time they launch an air strike, they will lose air cavalry. So it is another exploratory attack."

Prince Lian said: "What do you mean? What are you probing?"

Ying Que said: "Probing whether we have anti-aircraft weapons."

Prince Lian said: "We have anti-aircraft giant crossbows, but the shooting height is far from enough to cause a fatal blow to their air corps."

Ying Que said: "Now, they have tested that we don't have real anti-aircraft weapons."

Prince Lian said: "Why do they want to test?"

Ying Que said: "For the next war, they plan to adopt an unprecedented war mode."

"King Mi's war thinking is really too advanced."

………………………………

The next day, in the wilderness hundreds of miles away from the White Bone Territory.

Ying Que's camp was testing weapons.

"Release!"

With an order, more than a dozen small hot air balloons flew into the air.

Wait until they fly high enough.

"Fire!"

With an order.

More than a dozen anti-aircraft guns opened fire.

"Boom boom boom boom..."

Suddenly, there were bursts of explosions in the sky hundreds of thousands of meters above.

Groups of flame flowers bloomed.

This scene looked like the balloon artillery shooting on Earth in 1870.

The reason why anti-aircraft artillery appeared at that time was to destroy the enemy's reconnaissance of the Earth.

Of course, Yingque's anti-aircraft artillery is much more advanced than the crude version of the balloon artillery in 1870.

Because of the advanced explosives, the explosion power is very large, and the shooting height is also very amazing.

But the firing rate is not fast enough, there is no automation at all, and all manual operation is required.

"Master, this generation of anti-aircraft artillery is better than the previous batches, the firing rate is 20% faster, and the mobile aiming is more flexible, but the caliber is 15% smaller."

For anti-aircraft artillery, it started at least two years ago.

This must be done because the enemy's air advantage is too great.

Whether it is against King Mi, Sky Book City, or the Western Church.

These three enemies all have overwhelming air power.

What Yingque is seeing now is already the fifth generation.

Artillery is easy to make, even crude anti-aircraft artillery is easy to make.

For example, the anti-aircraft gun on Earth in 1870 was extremely crude.

But Yingque is not aiming at balloons, but at the enemy's highly maneuverable air cavalry.

So the requirements for firing rate and aiming accuracy are very high.

Yingque has a first-class environment, which is the secret laboratory of the Dark Academy.

But after all, it is a laboratory, and the output is too limited.

And his industrial strength is just starting.

He knows how to make a gun, and in the secret laboratory of the Dark Academy, with Yingque's magnetic control technique, he can make first-class guns.

But it cannot be mass-produced!

According to the workshop level of Black Gold City, it can only produce backward smoothbore guns.

Rifling can be drawn by Yingque's magnetic control technique, and it can even be drawn in batches in a few days and nights.

However, with the current technological level of the Black Gold City workshop, it is impossible to mass-produce qualified rifled barrels.

Therefore, the manufacture of guns has been going on, but it is not going smoothly.

Moreover, on the battlefield of the Dongyi Empire, the Yingque expeditionary force seized more than 30,000 flintlock muskets of the Western Church.

The artillery of the Western Church expeditionary force is very advanced, with high explosives and rifled cannons.

However, rifled guns are not equipped on a large scale.

Because artillery can allow a large number of craftsmen to carve and polish, but guns cannot.

In a sense, making guns is more difficult than making artillery, especially advanced guns, because they are more sophisticated.

It is impossible for a craftsman to spend a month to make a gun, the cost-effectiveness is too low.

Advanced firearms are destined to be the product of large-scale industrialization and standardization.

It is currently difficult to create a Western Holy See, and it is even more impossible to win or lose.

When he had just captured 30,000 muskets from the Western Holy See, Ying Que was very excited and felt that his combat effectiveness was about to improve by leaps and bounds.

He had also thought about changing all the eight thousand ace troops and equip them with more advanced guns.

But... I tested it several times.

An embarrassing result was obtained.

Far inferior to using a bow and arrow.

Most of the White Bone Leader Legion and Ning Dao First Legion were transformed into Nirvana by the Tree of Darkness.

Their dark bows can even have a pulling force of over three hundred pounds, and their special arrows have unparalleled penetrating power.

Moreover, they are capable of continuous fire.

Therefore, the power of their bows and arrows is far greater than that of their guns.

Therefore, Ying Que completely gave up letting them use guns.

Instead, 30,000 people were specially selected and trained to become a specialized musketeer army.

At present, Yingque has never released these 30,000 people and has not allowed them to appear on the battlefield.

They will cooperate with the 8,000 ace army to attack the Donghai Province and go to the battlefield when the Mi family is completely eliminated. They will serve as the sub-ace force to win over the missing army.

"Transport these thirteen anti-aircraft artillery pieces to Zhenhai City Pier and have Shen Lingluo's fleet equip them immediately." Ying Que ordered.

"yes!"

Ying Que added: "You allocate manpower to manufacture the sixth batch of anti-aircraft artillery. According to this specification, there is no need to upgrade it. Try to manufacture the sixth batch before the sea battle. During this period, you have darkness. Priority to use the academy’s secret base.”

"yes!"

…………………………

Ying Que seems to have guessed wrong!

On June 11, Mi launched another air raid.

This time, one hundred and fifty flying knights came.

It brought greater casualties to Zhenhai City.

Yingque obviously had powerful anti-aircraft firepower, but it was still useless and endured casualties.

June 13th.

Mi launched a third air raid.

Moreover, this time not only the air raids were carried out on Zhenhai City, but also on Bone City and Wild Grass Academy.

Although no huge casualties were caused in Bone Collar, everyone retreated to the Dark Realm before the enemy air attack was discovered.

But the Wild Grass Academy was half destroyed by the bomb.

Mi's air force even tried to bomb the reservoir dam in White Bone Territory.

But it was unsuccessful. Six bombs were dropped, but they still could not blow up the dam.

These continuous air strikes and bombings make people doubt whether King Mi is really like Ying Que's judgment. Is this just a tentative attack?

Or maybe King Mi’s original intention was just for the air raid? It was not to test whether Yingque had anti-aircraft firepower.

However, Yingque did not use anti-aircraft firepower from beginning to end and continued to engage in strategic fraud.

…………………………………………

Inside the underground fortress of Zhenhai Marquis Mansion.

Ying Que held a meeting with the emperor and others.

"I am now 100% sure that King Mi is about to launch a naval battle. He is about to assemble an extremely powerful fleet to attack Zhenhai City from the sea and go straight to Huanglong."

"And in this naval battle, he will adopt unprecedented tactics, which I call aircraft carrier tactics."

"It's just that I really don't know how many air legions he will dispatch, nor how many air legions he has."

"Let the soldiers on the northern front be prepared. The second phase of the war is about to break out, and it will even be more tragic."

"But the second stage of the battle was completely a feint. The more fierce the fight, the more it was a feint."

"King Mi's real direction will be to invest all his resources in naval warfare. He will invest all his naval resources."

"The outcome of this sea battle will directly determine the fate of both of us. If we lose this sea battle, we will directly lose this war."

"And if King Mi loses this naval battle, his home province of East China Sea will lose all its barriers."

Prince Lian said: "King Zhenhai, we also have aerial reconnaissance. A large fleet cannot hide its traces and will still be discovered by us. He cannot take it by surprise."

Yingque came to the map, pointed to a direction and said: "This is the Demon Spirit Sea. The straight-line distance from our Zhenhai City is only 290 miles. Of course, there are many rocks on the seabed in this direction in the south, which is not suitable for the fleet. They sail on a large scale, so they will appear in the northeast of the Demon Spirit Sea, which is only more than 400 miles away from our Zhenhai City. "

"More than four hundred miles away, and within twelve hours at most, a powerful fleet can suddenly appear on the sea east of Zhenhai City. This is absolutely unexpected."

Prince Lian trembled and said: "Their main fleet is actually hidden in the dark realm of the Demon Spirit Sea?"

Ying Que said: "Yes, I am 100% sure."

Well, that's really scary.

In almost half a day, King Mi's fleet could reach outside Zhenhai City.

It was more than just a surprise, it was a different kind of blitzkrieg.

It is said that only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you be victorious in every battle.

But this sea battle was full of fog of war for both King Mi and Yingque.

Neither side knows the specific strength of the other side.

Yingque could only roughly judge Mi Wang's tactics, but he could only estimate how many battleships he had, their advanced level, and how much air power he would use.

However, he put the emperor in Zhenhai City as a bait, in the final analysis, to attract the main force of King Mi's navy to attack.

This is the fastest way to win the war, for both sides.

Neither side is willing to turn this war into a protracted war.

……………………………………

In the northern waters of the East China Sea Province.

The Mi clan's air corps is conducting the final tactical exercise.

A completely practical tactical exercise.

King Mi, with several backbones of the Mi clan, is watching the entire exercise from a high place.

"Ready, start!"

With an order.

On a giant armed merchant ship, dozens of air cavalry took off and flew towards a warship on the sea.

When they were still more than ten miles away from the warship, they began to dive rapidly.

The warship on the sea immediately sounded an alarm.

"Fire, fire!"

With an order, the warship fired fiercely into the air.

Dozens of giant crossbows fired wildly into the air.

Dozens of rocket vehicles fired wildly into the air.

"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh..."

This is a real rocket car, a giant arrow tied to a large rocket cannon.

There are thirty rockets on each rocket car.

This scene is so gorgeous.

More than a dozen rocket cars, launched at the same time.

Hundreds of rocket cannons, shot wildly into the air.

Like a dense meteor shower, whistling to a height of 500 meters, and then exploded directly.

Under such dense anti-aircraft firepower.

The giant aerial eagles that came to attack were hit one after another and fell with screams.

This is really injured, really dead.

In order to verify this new tactic, King Mi also fought hard.

Soon, the surviving air legion came directly above the battleship and dropped bombs.

"Boom boom boom boom..."

Dozens of bombs exploded violently.

Among them, four bombs hit the battleship.

The entire battleship was blown out with several large holes and burned fiercely.

In a short moment, it broke directly from the middle and sank to the bottom of the sea.

The actual combat exercise ended.

"My Lord, the actual combat exercise is over."

"The target warship was sunk by air strikes. Of the thirty-six flying cavalry, five died and nine were injured."

"A total of twenty-two flying cavalry completed bombing, four bombs hit the target, and sank the target warship."

"This actual combat exercise was successful, proving that the naval air strike strategy is completely feasible."

King Mi nodded and said, "Okay, the soldiers have worked hard. The dead and wounded soldiers must be compensated."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

This completely practical effect is very good, proving the absolute advancement of this tactic.

For this era, this tactic is even subversive.

………………………………………………………………

In the secret command room.

King Mi is making the final decision.

Mi Daoyuan, Mi Huan, Fu Caiwei and others are waiting for his decision.

Although Fu Caiwei's action in the Kingdom of Dali was successful, it was interrupted by Ying Que.

King Dali has withdrawn his troops, and King Mi's plan to attack from both north and south has failed.

Conventional ground warfare is no longer feasible.

Either it becomes a protracted war and all the troops are exhausted.

Or the army loyal to Emperor Yongchang cannot withstand the pressure and retreats on the battlefield.

It seems that the only option is to fight a naval battle and attack the Zhenhai City directly.

"Yingque put the emperor in Zhenhai City as bait to attract our main naval forces to attack Zhenhai City."

"We know this clearly, and Yingque knows that we know this."

"But both of us have no choice but to fight this naval battle."

"If Yingque loses this naval battle, then he will completely lose the war. The only way is to flee overseas with the empress."

"But if we lose, I don't need to tell you the consequences. Everything we have won in the past few decades will be exported."

"This is a battle of fate for both us and Yingque."

Fu Jianzhi said: "My Lord, we have launched three large-scale air strikes in a row, and Yingque has not demonstrated anti-aircraft firepower. Does it mean that he really does not have any excellent anti-aircraft forces?"

"No." Mi Wang said: "We have to assume that he has, and has better than us. Anti-aircraft firepower. "

"Be generous in predicting the enemy. Yingque is the most powerful enemy we have encountered so far. It is not an exaggeration to overestimate him. So in this battle, we should treat him as having a very strong anti-aircraft force."

"Yingque took the initiative to spread a large net in the Zhenhai City area, waiting for us to drill in. So he must be extremely well prepared. We have to assume that he has spread a net of heaven and earth."

"But we must also be clear about one thing. We know him better than they know us."

"This naval battle is full of fog, and neither of us can see the strength of the other side clearly."

"But, after all, our strength is greater and we have more trump cards."

"However, time does not allow delay."

"The longer the time is delayed, the more unpredictable the situation will be, and even Yingque will have more trump cards."

King Mi closed his eyes and played with a relic in his hand.

He has always been decisive in killing, but today's decision is indeed a bit difficult to make.

After a few minutes, King Mi opened his eyes and said slowly: "Then let's fight!"

"Use all the naval forces to completely destroy all of Ying Que's navy, go straight to Huanglong, and capture Zhenhai City!"

"Do your best to win this fateful battle!"

Suddenly, the backbone members of the Mi clan present stood up and shouted in unison: "Obey the order of the great king!"

………………………………………

June 20th!

The war that had stopped for nearly a month.

It broke out again!

This time, the scale of the war was unprecedented!

The fateful battle between the two sides began immediately!

……………………………………

Note: The second update is here, and it is still nearly 12,000 updates.

Great benefactors, the double monthly ticket is about to end, and the cake kowtows to you, can you give it to me?
